IMPORTANT COMPOSITES
MESSAGE
WARNING
Your bike (frame and components) is made from
composite materials also known as “carbon
fiber.”
All riders must understand a fundamental reality
of composites. Composite materials constructed
of carbon fibers are strong and light, but when
crashed or overloaded, carbon fibers do not bend,
they break.
For your safety, as you own and use the bike,
you must follow proper service, maintenance,
and inspection of all the composites (frame,
stem, fork, handlebar, seat post, etc.) Ask your
Cannondale Dealer for help.
We urge you to read PART II, Section D. “Inspect
For Safety” in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s
Manual BEFORE you ride.
YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED, PARALYZED
OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT IF YOU IGNORE
THIS MESSAGE.
INSPECTION & CRASH
DAMAGE OF CARBON
FRAMES/FORKS
WARNING
AFTER A CRASH OR IMPACT:
Inspect frame carefully for damage (See PART II,
Section D. Inspect For Safety in your Cannondale
Bicycle Owner’s Manual. )
Do not ride your bike if you see any sign
of damage, such as broken, splintered, or
delaminated carbon fiber.
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING MAY INDICATE A
DELAMINATION OR DAMAGE:
■ An unusual or strange feel to the frame
■Carbon which has a soft feel or altered shape
■Creaking or other unexplained noises,
■Visible cracks, a white or milky color present
in carbon fiber section
CONTINUING TO RIDE A DAMAGED FRAME
INCREASES THE CHANCES OF FRAME
FAILURE, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY
OR DEATH OF THE RIDER.

INTEGRATED HEADTUBE
In carbon models, cups are bonded within the head
tube. Cannondale Headshok System Integration
bearings are accepted directly into both type. For 1.5”
and 1 1/8” adapter headsets, see Replacement Parts.
NOTICE
Do not face, surface, or cut the head tube bearing
cups. When removing adapters, bearings, or
cup from the frame, extra care must be used so
that the tool used to drive out the bearing is not
located on any part a bonded cup.

ASYMMETRIC INTEGRATION (Ai) - REAR WHEEL
ABOUT
You must use rear wheels that are compatible
with the Cannondale Asymmetric Integration
(Ai) 6mm oset. OEM wheels built to this
specification are identified with “Ai” logo, shown
at right.
6mm OFFSET /
55mm CHAINLINE
The Ai rear hub is oset 6mm to the drive side.
This both aligns the cassette with the Ai frame’s
55mm chainline, and aligns the rim/tire with
frame’s centerline for correct tire clearance. (See
also, Maximum Tire Width in SPECIFICATIONS).
Ai wheels have equal spoke angles and tension
on both sides (non-dished wheel) which
improves wheel stiness, strength.
NOTICE
USE ONLY “Ai” OFFSET REAR WHEELS.
Incorrect wheel oset can damage your
frame.
Standard wheel assembled on this frame will
result in insucient tire clearance leading to
rubbing and serious frame damage. This kind
of damage is not covered by the Cannondale
Limited Warranty.
Building/Truing a Wheel
If you chose to build, or true the wheel, make
sure the 6mm oset is present.
Consult with your Cannondale Dealer if you
have any questions.

SEAT POST
For more information about carbon fiber
seat posts, see also “APPENDIX D. Care and
Maintenance of Carbon Fiber Seat Posts” in
your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual.
Please Note:
■The seatpost size is 27.2mm. Do not use adapters
or shims.
■ The seatpost MINIMUM INSERT depth is 100mm.
■ The frame INSERT LIMIT varies with frame size. Do
not allow an installed seatpost to touch the water bottle
boss. This will result in damage.
■Apply carbon gel inside the seat tube and on the seat
post before inserting the seatpost.
■ Apply a light bicycle bearing grease to the area of seat post
under the binder.
WARNING
THE SEAT POST MUST ONLY BE CUT BY A
PROFESSIONAL BIKE MECHANIC. Incorrectly
cutting the seat post can result in damage leading
to an accident.

Cup/Bearing Installation
Thoroughly clean the inside surface of the bottom
bracket shell with a clean dry shop towel.
Apply bearing grease** to the BB shell and cup.
Press each cup individually with the headset press
until the cup flange is mated with the BB shell face.
Apply bearing grease to each bearing and press one
at a time into the already installed cups.
Removal
To avoid damage to the frame, drive out bearing
out of the installed cup. Then, drive out each bearing
cup. Drive both the bearings and cups out squarely
and evenly. Do not pry components from shell.
Maintenance
In general, you should inspect the condition of the
BB bearings annually (at a minimum) or anytime the
crankset assembly is disassembled, serviced, or if a
problem is indicated.
To inspect, when the crankset is removed, rotate the
inner bearing race of both bearings; rotation should
be smooth, and quiet. Execesssive play, roughness
or corrossion indicates a damaged bearing.
Do not reinstall removed bearings or cups. Replace
both cups/bearings as a new set.
NOTICE
Consult with your Cannondale Dealer on the
quality and compatibilty of any proposed
replacement component.
Make sure the PRESSFIT BB30 30 system
is intended for use with a 46 mm I.D. BB
shell. Confirm acutel part dimensions with a
micrometer. Do not use chemical solvents to
clean. Do not remove frame material or use
surfacing tools on bottom bracket shell.
Frame damage, caused by improper
components, component installation or removal
is not covered by your warranty.
** Loctite 609 Loctite 609 can be used instead of
grease to install the BB cups. Bonding improves the
BB shell and cups interface and can also eliminate
any creaking that develops. Please follow the Loctite
instrcutions if you decide to bond the cups.

ASYMMETRIC INTEGRATION (Ai) - SI HOLLOWGRAM
■ DRIVE & NON-DRIVE SPACER: Please note the location and size of the non-drive and drive side spacers
(opposite page)
■ Ai SPIDERS: Specific spiders have been developed for the Ai driveline. They are manufactured to
accomodate the 6mm oset present in the frame. Note that the spiders are laser etched on the inside
faces with the specific chainring BCD and chainring compatability.
■ 137mm SPINDLE: The 137mm spindle used must be “Ai compatible.” A compatible Ai spindle will have
bearing lands (areas shown shaded )that are 5mm wider than the previous revision 137mm spindle. Older
revisions of the 137mm MTN spindle are not Ai compatible, but an Ai compatible spindle will work fine on
older 137mm cranksets.
■ RH CRANKARM ASSEMBLY: As evident in the upper illustration, the RH Crankarm, Spider, and Spindale
are inserted into the BB as an assembly with the 9mm drive side spacer and bearing shield added
beforehand. It is important to apply a high-quality bearing grease to the areas indicated in the lower
illustration and also note the application of Loctite 242 (blue) a removable thread locking agent.
■ FD SPACERS: The front derailleur spacers are necessary to move the position of a derailleur outboard.
You can see that the spacers attach directly to the frame and the derailleurs are then fitted to the
spacers. Please note that the spacers are etched with the type of derailleur. These spacers are available
as kits. See Replacement Parts in this supplement.
